“The Wine Curmudgeon made it look easy”

This was supposed to be the ">link to my hard-hitting ?- and 90-some odd second ?- appearance on Dallas ? CBS affiliate on Friday morning. In fact, it's a link to the station's video library. None of the videos in the library apparently has its own URL, so you have to search for the video you want to watch. Type in "state fair wine" in the box on the upper right if you're so inclined. If you aren't, I don't blame you. This is a foolish, Mainstream Media way to run a Web site, because it's designed to pump up visitor numbers instead of making it easy to find what you want.

There are two highlights – ? me mumbling into the microphone when I gave the blog address, wasting who knows how many thousands in free publicity, and Channel 11 ?s Ginger Allen, the blond woman at the end, saying what everyone already knows: "The Wine Curmudgeon makes it look easy." Or what I wished everyone already knew.
